Conqueror: July 18, 2016

TODAY’S WORD FOR MONDAY JULY 18, 2016.
CONQUEROR

DEFINITION:

One who subdues by force; one who overcomes or gains victory or wins by effort; victor; vanquisher.
SCRIPTURE:

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Romans 8:37.

KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:

One of the world’s most unusual landmarks is a single granite plaque on a pole on the western boundary of Russia near the city of Wilna. There are two inscriptions on this plaque. The western side reads: Napoleon Bonaparte passed this location in 1812 with 410,000 men on his way to conquer Russia. On the eastern side it reads: Napoleon Bonaparte passed this location in 1812 with 9,000 men as he returned home from his conflict with the Russians. Napoleon had a goal of conquering the world but he met his match in this Russian campaign. Napoleon conquered many but there was a limit to his abilities.

In Romans 8:37 Paul assures us that we who believe in Jesus are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ who loves us. As believers we will often have to face hardships of all kinds. Paul endured great hardships. He faced persecution, hunger, danger, imprisonment, beatings and threats of death. Yet through it all he was confident that nothing could separate him from Christ and His love. In Christ we are conquerors over the evil forces of this world.

And the scripture also tells us that one day Satan will meet his match when confronted with the judgement of God and he will have no survivors. Our God will be the ultimate conqueror of evil.

One of the great conquerors in the scriptures is David. He fought many battles and understood that God was the one that enabled him to be a conqueror. He fought with a lion. He battled with Goliath with a sling and a stone. He was a mighty warrior and won many battles over enemy nations who attacked Israel. David gave God the credit for his many victories.

We read in Psalm 144:2 that he praised God for being his shield and defender. He knew that God was with him. This is the key for us today so that we can be conquerors in all of the situations we face in our lives. We must recognize that the battle is the Lord’s and in Him we can have victory.

No matter what the circumstances of life may be for you, if you believe in Jesus and have turned your life over to Him you are more than a conqueror. We cannot lose when we let the battle we are facing be the Lord’s. Take a moment and look at what the scriptures say that Christ can do for you:

•    He will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)

•    He will give you peace. (John 14:27)

•    He provides for you an escape from temptation. (I Corinthians 10:13)

•    He will comfort you through all the trials you may face. (II Corinthians 1:3-4)

•    He will supply all your needs. (Philippians 4:19)

•    He will deliver you through all persecution. (II Corinthians 4:8)

•    He will enable you to overcome the world. (I John 5:4)

•    He will deliver you from fear. (Isaiah 41:10)

•    He will give you eternal life. (John 10:28-29)

•    He will keep you from all evil.(II Thessalonians 3:3)

Every day you can be a conqueror. You are a child of the King who is the ultimate conqueror. Go and act like it today in all that you do and say.

LEARNING:

Our memory verse for this week is found in John 14:3.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
PRAYER:

Thank You that You have made it possible for me to claim victory in every spiritual battle that I face today. Thank You that it is because of Your power within me that I can be a conqueror.
